Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart-Chapter 10
Mu Lee's voice was choked with emotions. All these years, she had suffered a lot from her Mu Family, because her mother's illness could only be endured time and time again.
Now that Gu Tingchen was willing to stand up for her, what else was there for her to worry about.
Gu Tingchen held Mu Lee's hand once again and slowly spoke: "What's the point of getting angry at your niece? If Mr. Mu wants to say something, I, Gu Tingchen will accompany you to the end. "
"You?" Mu Shaohua could not help but taunt, "You can represent the Gu family? Gu Tingchen, do you not know your position in the Gu Family? "
Gu Tingchen raised his sword-like eyebrows, as cold as ice at the bottom of his eyes: "Status? Do you think I care? "
Hearing this ridiculing tone, Mu Lee couldn't help but frown. She knew that her uncle had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and was only interested in profit. Now that he had bet on Gu Tingye, he would naturally step on Gu Tingchen, but he didn't expect that he would actually mention Gu Tingchen's sore spot in front of him.
Mu Lee was immediately furious, "Tingchen is the Gu family's legitimate Second Young Master, why can't he represent the Gu family? If uncle says these words, won't he be caught? "
Gu Tingchen looked up. This little wife of his actually stood up to protect him. Gu Tingchen instantly felt a warm feeling in his heart. Ever since the incident five years ago, no one had cared about him this much anymore.
Mu Yan could not bear to see Mu Lee being so arrogant. Her eyes were filled with disgust, she really did not know her status, and dared to be so arrogant here.
"Mu Lee, how can you say that here? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just by marrying into the Gu family. In my eyes, you are just a useless wild chicken who doesn't deserve anything! "
Gu Tingchen's face turned cold, his gaze sweeping across, "Miss Mu, if I remember correctly, the one who was betrothed to me back then was you, right?"
"You, what nonsense are you spouting!" Mu Yan panicked when she heard this. This cripple stayed at the Gu household all day, how would she know about this?
Gu Tingchen said unhurriedly, as if he was stating a fact.
"At that time, the two families only engaged with each other and did not specify which daughter would marry you to. Now that you and Mu Lee have married, our Mu Family has already fulfilled our agreement!"
Seeing that his daughter was panicking, Su Yanli quickly spoke up to protect her. At a time like this, she couldn't let his daughter's reputation be tarnished.
Mu Shaohua also opened his mouth, "Gu Tingchen, you still need to know your own limits." With his reputation and status, how could he be worthy of his daughter?
He wished that his daughter would have a better home to return to as she walked higher up the mountain.
If she said that, it would be equivalent to slapping Gu Tingchen's face in front of everyone!
Mu Lee never thought that Mu Shaohua would say such insulting words towards her husband. He was so angry that his eyes turned red. Just as he was about to step forward, Gu Tingchen held his hand.
Gu Tingchen shook his head at her as he calmly opened his mouth, "Yan Shu, go and remind Mister Mu. It's no wonder who helped the Mu Family to survive five years ago.
After Gu Tingchen finished speaking, Mu Shaohua immediately felt his face heating up. Five years ago, he personally came over to plead with Gu Tingchen for help. At that time, he was in as much of a mess as he could get.
It had been so long since this had happened, but he had not expected this person to still be on the tip of his tongue.
"Gu Tingchen, you were the one who lent me thirty million back then. I can return this money to you today, so as to not let you hang on the edge of it for your entire life, as if our Mu Family owes you a debt!"
Gu Tingchen said unhurriedly, "Since back then, this 3 million people was equivalent to saving the entire Mu Family, then today, Mr. Mu might as well set up a company for me. I think that's the only way we can repay the kindness I showed you back then. "
"You, don't go too far!" Green veins exploded on Mu Shaohua's face. This Gu Tingchen was really asking for it? Half a Mu Family? It was simply a pipe dream.
Right at that moment, a luxurious car stopped in front of the door.
The door opened, and Gu Tingye got off. Looking at the scene in front of him, he frowned: "What happened?"
"Big brother Ye, you finally came. Look at them, they actually bullied our family to their doorsteps."
Seeing Gu Tingye coming over, Mu Yan had a backbone, hence she immediately ran over to complain, as if she suffered a great grievance.
Gu Tingye could not stand to see his own woman being wronged the most. His face turned cold, "Don't cry, with me here, I will seek justice for you."
With that, he turned to Gu Tingchen who was sitting on his wheelchair, the disgust and disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all. "It's not enough to embarrass myself at home, why are you here? Do you think you haven't lost enough face for the Gu Family? "
These words were said without mercy, the reason for the matter was too lazy to ask, it seemed like Gu Tingchen, this little brother, was even worse than a servant in his eyes.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Are you trying to embarrass yourself by coming with me?" Leaning on the wheelchair, Gu Tingchen's expression was extremely cold, but he did not even glance at Gu Tingye.
His indifferent attitude made a ball of fire rise in Gu Tingye's heart, "Gu Tingchen, you dare to talk to me like that? I think you must be tired of living! "
Gu Tingchen's expression did not change, "What, you want to kill me again?"
It was fortunate that Gu Tingchen was able to survive the car accident five years ago. In these past few years, he had been plotted against more than once and Gu Tingye's shadow could be seen behind his back.
Gu Tingchen tilted his head, his eyes revealing a cold glint. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Gu Tingye's expression turned cold. He absolutely did not expect that I would actually say these words in front of her.
The two faced off evenly, as if they would be able to knock each other out in the next second.
Gu Tingye had brought a lot of people with him, so the one who would be at a disadvantage now was definitely Gu Tingchen. Mu Lee pushed his wheelchair, "Tingchen, you're tired, let's go back."
Gu Tingchen did not move, his eyes staring straight at Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye's expression changed slightly, he looked into Mu Lee's bloodshot eyes. She looked as though she had suffered a great grievance, but was still so stubborn that she was not willing to admit defeat.
A girl like this couldn't help but cause his heart to tremble and his face to soften.
"You are Mu Lee? Sorry, I was too busy working to attend your and my brother's wedding. Both sides are at fault for what happened today. Since things have come to this point, you should bring my little brother back first. I will handle the rest. "
The impartiality of these words caused Mu Lee to be surprised.
This was the first time she saw Gu Tingchen's big brother. Just now, when she heard Mu Yan's complaints, she felt like his own little brother was making trouble for her.
Mu Lee only wanted to send Gu Tingchen back quickly at this moment, and did not allow him to be humiliated again. Instead, she put on a smile: "I believe Big Brother will definitely give me and Tingchen justice."
"All of you, stop!" However, Mu Shaohua did not want to let the two go like this, "You made a mess of my gate, without even apologizing, you want to leave, do you think our Mu Family is so easy to bully?"
Gu Tingchen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Mu Shaohua with cold eyes: "What, did Mr. Mu want me to stay behind because he wants me to blow up your entire house?"
